watchdog bug fix update

Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated watchdog packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The watchdog packages provide a user-space application which can be configured
to provide updates to a hardware or software watchdog timer via the Linux
kernel's watchdog interface.
This update fixes the following bug:
- The previous version of the watchdog utility introduced watchdog-timeout
configuration directive with a default value that caused the timeout to be set
on start regardless of that directive being provided. Such behavior conflicted
with custom configured hardware watchdog device timeout value via module
parameters. With this update, watchdog detects absence of the new configuration
directive and no longer reconfigures the device timeout to compiled-in default,
and the configuration collision is thus avoided with custom module parameters
such as ipmi_watchdog timeout. (BZ#1152435)
Users of watchdog are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
this bug.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
